The Peppermint Diaries #1

Stereotypically as a Brit I should love tea, and there is no lie to this fact. Currently peppermint tea is my drink of choice and I had forgotten how much I loved it. There's nothing better than sitting down with a cup of tea and a snack and writing. For me a cup of tea is my ultimate writing accompaniment and I doubt this will ever change. I love writing in the evening and use it as a tool to wind down before bed.

Whilst sat drinking my peppermint tea on the train on Saturday I had yet another idea, what if everytime I drunk a cup of tea 'something happened' and I noted it down, whether this be my thoughts or my surroundings.

Thus became 'The Peppermint Diaries', with this as the first instalment.

Tired, cold, nervous; that's how I feel right now. I'm sat on a quite train to the busiest city, where in a few hours I will probably have been told no again. Pessimistic I hear you say? Naturally, but you have to be in this industry, else you will only cry all the time. One bum note and bam, 'sorry not today' - standard. Happy tears tend to be more apparent in my life these days, mainly as in the moment I'm likely to be overwhelmed or shocked that something good has gone my way- I'm not asking for sympathy I'm just naturally unlucky. Anyway, here's to that little bit of luck that's in me somewhere, hopefully we will meet one day...
